Hey just a note to all the shocked commenters―wowaka's been making music all this time!! Please check out Hitorie, his band! wowaka composes, sings, and plays guitar. His bandmates make him so happy and it warms my heart so much, please give them a listen!

[@bushrar.6654]

[@sammu4695]

Do you know how to use a VPN? If you download one and set it to Japan, it works perfectly! Some songs are also on wowaka's Niconico. Alternately you could just... download all their music, which I have links to, but that's morally debatable

[@sammu4695]

Bushra R. Oh, you can also buy their albums from cdjapan if you want to get them through that method. Some songs from WONDER and WONDER seem to have been mirrored on KZbin and be unblocked, like Nazenaze and Senseless Wonder, so there's that option too, although it's a very limited selection! I think Dailymotion has some mirrors to their music videos as well, I know I saw Talkie Dance and I think I saw Antithesis Junkgirl there. Tumblr PROBABLY has some uploads, or maybe Twitter, where the Hitorie fanbase is most active to my knowledge

[@corasundae]

Bushra R. m.soundcloud.com/tiramicchan/sets/roomsick-girls-escape Soundcloud is one not exactly official place. They also have music on Spotify! If you want to support them, you can buy Japanese iTunes gift card codes on a site like Japan Codes so you can buy their music from iTunes Japan. Wowaka has improved so much. I love Hitorie, sigh. Thanks for spreading the good word.

[@imperfectanimal57]

Sammu oh I didn't know that but still!!!! This is amazing!!!!

[@AbsolLootley]

Not many people talk about this, but here’s the meaning of the song. The song is a bit like Unhappy Refrain: It’s about the recognition and credit that Wowaka didn’t receive. Some don’t know this, but after the song Unhappy Refrain came out, Wowaka took a long break from making Vocaloid songs, some argue that this was because of his band Hitorie, but you can tell by Wowaka’s last song before the hiatus that he wasn’t satisfied in the Vocaloid community. Unhappy Refrain was about the credit Wowaka didn’t get, because people credited Miku, not Wowaka. Unknown Mother Goose is about the same thing, a song about why he left. You can see in the lyrics that it’s about Wowaka not getting credit “Can you see me?” Can you see Wowaka and not just Miku? “A forgotten story” Wowaka was forgotten The line “Pick me up again” was a mistake on Wowaka’s part. He admitted that the lyric is supposed to be “Give me love again”, people misunderstood it. “Give me love again” Give him credit, attention, love again It’s sad how Wowaka’s last Vocaloid songs were about an unsatisfaction with Vocaloid music, but I’m sure he’s happy to know that he’s getting the recognition, love and attention even though he’s gone. edit, here’s a link to a translated statement by wowaka regarding why he left and why he wrote the song. kazarinn.tumblr.com/post/164575872097/translation-of-wowakas-statement-regarding-his/amp

[@GHOUPSLIP]

[@SemiCollin]

damn, thats depressing, looking at this song knowing this makes it more sad

[@awesomeboyz255]

My interpretation is nothing like that but dang…that’s sad

[@a.c.e.-6316]

Do you have a source where it says that he meant to say 'give me love again' and not 'pick me up again'? Because as far as I was aware, this song is more about Wowaka returning to Vocaloid and thanking Miku for everything she did for him, hence the name 'Unknown Mother Goose': he confesses that Miku was sort of a mother-figure to him. Despite all the trouble he has had with her and with Vocaloid in general, he still returns to Miku in the end.

[@sakuravikofficial]

@@a.c.e.-6316 I agree with this interpretation. I think people seem to misinterpret or read the lyrics very straight forward when wowaka was always know for making his lyrics very vague. I personally believe this song while yes, showing the same themes of Unhappy Refrain also shows wowaka’s appreciation towards Miku despite all that he experienced. Miku is what got him into fame in the first place, it’s why he views her as a mother figure, because she set the path for him to become a producer

[@alekstogata6617]

"Hey, if you want to scream about your love, I'll be right here." This line struck me the most esp. now he went into a peaceful slumber. He was my inspiration. As a writer, I loved how vague his lyrics were. Rest in peace, wowaka.

[@snivy400]

Y’know this song definitely hits a certain way. It feels like an extension or sequel to rolling girl and unhappy refrain more so the latter. Like Rolling girl made me feel depressed and frustrated at how useless it all was. Unhappy Refrain made me feel frustrated and jealous at the world for not recognizing who I was and tossing me to the wayside. This song is different as in it gives off a feeling more akin to gratitude and acceptance. Lines like “can you see me?” Or “I wonder if it’s ok to try and entrust those feelings unknown to all upon this voice just one more time?” Really do feel like Wowaka wrote this song with unhappy refrain in mind because it basically answers the feelings of frustration found in that song in a way. This song feels like a love letter to his fans, to Crypton, to Miku herself as if to say despite everything he’s grateful to us and to them for all the support over the years.

[@silverfan9611]

I know a couple of people already addicted to this song. The legendary CrusherP included. Wowaka may have passed away, but he passed with a flying colour and went out with a style. His last piece is legendary.

[@a.c.e.-6316]

I agree with your theory, as awful as it is, in a way it is also beautiful that he at least got to give his fans this song before he passed away: it's a much more peaceful last song than Unhappy Refrain would have been.

I think most well-known and loved vocaloid producers can agree that without their vocaloid songs they wouldn't be where they are now. ryo (supercell) has made countless songs on it just look at ODDS AND ENDS. Hachi wouldn't be where he is without Matryoshka and Panda Hero. He never would've gained the courage if these vocaloids never sang the feelings and thoughts that they did. I think that's the real beauty of vocaloid songs. Not everyone is confident but with just a push you can become something greater. These songs are their way of paying some sort of homage. So, Miku's 10th birthday is definitely worth celebrating. They're not just celebrating it because it's Miku, they're also celebrating their own success knowing that their feelings reached out to MILLIONS of people.

[@notthecity]

It's very nice that a voicebank allowed these artists to create and make music and allowed them to get to where they are today. Miku's b-day is in a week, it's pretty awesome they made songs to celebrate what Vocaloid/Miku did for them! It's just I'm very excited all of these producers (who more than one of us thought weren't coming back) came back to the software one more time and created something beautiful for all of us to enjoy and celebrate with them.

I put off listening to this... After discovering it through some art on dA I couldn't believe that wowaka came back with a song after such a long time! Reading what others have said about his background as a producer and his time with Hitorie made it really emotional just to listen to the first few seconds of it. When I was a kid I know for a fact I was part of that group who wrongly thought that Vocaloid songs just magically "existed", and credited so much to the image of the voice banks that sung them rather than the humans, thinking, feeling humans who wrote them. Personally, it's more than an eye opener reading the experience Wowaka had while using Miku for his music, along with the wave of other producers coming back to make something for Miku's tenth anniversary. It's more somber than I expected, but it brings an awareness of how far the community has changed. This song definitely has wowaka's touch, but at the same time it sounds nostalgic it's also grown in so many ways. His time with his band, finding his identity, building on his time while using Vocaloid, it just shows. AND the fact that Hitorie recorded it such a good sign of how far he's come ;_; (ugh I mean they're so great, part of the reason I made a NicoNico account was to watch their videos)... I don't know if I sound really presumptuous saying all that. Sorry if I am; I just got really excited after I finally clicked the link.

[@sugar5859]

The meaning of the song, the way i interpret it anyway, isnt just about wowaka's disappointment about how he didnt get the recognition he deserved like in Unhappy Refrain. I feel like this song is much more about wowaka and his relationship with Miku. There were many heart references in the song and even is the logo for both this song and unhappy refrain which prob references the fact he had an acute heart disease and that he prob knew about it for awhile. The story unknown to all is prob talking about his life and how in the end he is only 'humming' his story out there and not actually putting it out there for everyone. Instead choosing to do it in this song. Him entrusting his love to this voice again is prob about him deciding to use Miku's voice again after all these years. "I wonder if its okay to try and entrust those feelings unknown to all upon this voice...one more time?" The title of this song too I feel is a reference to how he said he felt a familial relationship to Miku. I remember reading in his wiki that he said that Miku was kinda like a mother to him. The Unknown Mother Goose being a reference to how his full story is unknown to all but himself and Miku. "My heart, creaking, lives in this moment more than anyone else's" Yes he did. Even now his heart lives in that moment, the moment when he made this song. Even if it took so long, Im glad people now recognize who he is and is being credited for his works. Thank you Wowaka for your songs. They meant a lot to a lot of us. Rest in peace.

[@freeeeeeeez]

wait a min, so he actually did have an acute heart disease? i mean i did suspect it since its very rare for someone in their 30's to just suddenly succumb to a random heart failure rather then it steeming from a previously known issue in them..... and not to mention, a lot of the lyrics do seem a bit too much of a coicidence... but does that means we have like, actual confirmation? or at least strong hints? am curious

I HAVE HAD THIS ON REPEAT FOR A DAY STRAIGHT GOD I MISSED WOWAKA. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH BLESS YOUR VIDEOS! ❤❤❤❤❤ Edit: ROLLING GIRL REFERENCE I'M GOING TO SOB UGH

[@sinnoh_nym]

Sammu Yee yee! I learned about his band about a month ago but thank you nonetheless!

[@bits9215]

a rolling girl reference!? where? i don't think i caught it ;w;

[@sinnoh_nym]

bits ! When she says "mou ikkai" and when she says how long will I have to "roll". They're references to rolling girl which was the song that really started wowaka's boom to fame :3

[@arseniccatnip6]

I am so happy Wowaka is back. They are one of my favorite producers and this song is so good. Like, you have no idea how freaking ecstatic I was when I saw one of the Vocaloid pages I follow post it. I actually startled my boyfriend because I started freaking out.

[@cheryltan1891]

Sarah Cimaglio ...This comment failed to age well. RIP Wowaka...you will be missed...

[@Moon122]

I feel like this is Miku talking to Wowaka telling him that if the world rejects her, she’ll still love him and won’t be afraid to keep singing even if the world hates her. Also, R.I.P. Wowaka

[@___jisoochrist]

Weird how songs can communicate to you even without the lyrics itself. It was like the day I first heard rolling girl. His music helped me through a lot. I wish there was a way to turn back time, just so I can tell you how much your music meant to me and to everyone in the vocaloid fandom. Your passing will not go in vain, and you and your message will be immortalized through the beautiful pieces you made. Thank you for everything you've done. Rest well Wowaka, you will forever be missed.

[@evils295]

Thank you wowaka for the all the best song you produce.. Now lay down your guitar and rest in peace...you already done your best May you be rocking at the end of the world even you're not here

[@Inai.Watashi.Mo.Inai.]

Man, for me its the 5th of April and listening to this again after so many years makes me tear up. Fly high, Wowaka.

[@pinkcarrots5529]

this song is reassuring... I have moments when it all feels like its building up to crash down and they way the song transfers into a more soothing melody towards the middle is just... its nice. it's really nice.

[@radicalizzy3489]

i returned to the vocaloid community a few months ago and hearing the news about Wowaka was heartbreaking. thank you for the memories Wowaka rest in peace

[@xsicho]

twitter.com/wowaka/status/900747444283097089 Reading this makes me really sad and understand more about the song. Sad enough that I have the desire to order Hitorie albums just to support him as who he is. Fuck, I'll go order them right now.

[@corasundae]

Xsicho Cemetel I don't know how to say this nicely but... you're on a video for an English translation of a song. Nobody can read that link but you.

[@xsicho]

@corasundae ah yea, sorry about that, so let me apologize by translating a few parts for you guys basically he's talking about his pasts, in the year he was very enthusiastic in being a vocaloid producer, in his first unhappy refrain album then about his downfall where he felt that his identity is gone, fans started saying "this is vocaloid" instead of "this is wowaka" and he was really down. he was extremely depressed for half a year or so before creating Hitorie and felt that he would die if he did not join up with his members. Thanking vocaloid for allowing him to meet these guys, he tried his best for the band. He still listened to vocaloid and wants to continue working on it sometimes but he doesn't have time to do anything since he felt the need to do everything for Hitorie And after all his successes, he finally felt that he was free from his depressions, like he was someone named wowaka born on 2009 age 8. Coincidentally someone contacted him to work on a song for Miku's 10th anniversary, someone that helped him during the times as a vocaloid producer. Seeing the fire in that person's ambitions for Miku, he instantly said he'll do it with the mindset of "if I'm not doing it now, then when will I be able to do it again." Took three months of grief, exhaustion, and fun to create Unknown Mother Goose. He felt everything is needed in his life, to create who he is, Miku's songs, Hitorie, his albums. He felt thanks to Miku that allowed him to start his career, Hitorie that sustained his life, and everything. On the song, he saw himself overlapping Miku and goes with that mindset to create the song. He entrusted his words to her, his past, present, and his future. The instrumental was played by Hitorie, the reason he was able to continue making songs. He even sang the backup voice for Miku in some parts. He felt the need to do it and just did it.

[@imperfectanimal57]

Xsicho Cemetel hearing that made me cry. I'm glad he's okay. Welcome back my dearest friend.

[@dimmerlights]

Xsicho Cemetel Thanks for doing the translation. I just read Wowaka and demo's interview and it has the same message as that tweet. Thank God we're past the era where people wouldnt credit the producer. (eg: "Melt by Hatsune Miku" or "Daughter of Evil by Kagamine Rin" irks me a lot)

[@animal8006]

This makes me want to cry.. the lyrics, the fact that this was his last song.. the fact that he died, the fact that so many people were afraid this would be his last song....

[@MakushiP]

He keeps on amazing me, no matter if he produces music actively or not...truly an amazing producer, and one of my favorites of all time. He's back!
